Commercial building owners may seem like they have way more money than most of us but what you don’t know is that they also have way more expenses. This is especially true when it comes to their energy cost. This is why they’re always on the hunt for way to lessen building energy cost without compromising employee comfort as well as the building’s overall quality and security. Here’s how window films can help with that especially when it comes to lighting and HVAC savings.
Lighting Savings
Letting the natural light come through may be great because it doesn’t only make the room appear more open and wide but you’re also enjoying a well-lit room without needing to turn on your light which saves you money. However, the downside of that is that employees will have to deal with glare and solar heat which can affect their productivity plus you end up with premature damaging of furniture. This is why more and more business owners should consider investing on window films. Because this will not just address glare and discomfort, but it also allows increase in useful daylight which helps lessen energy consumption. This is even more effective if you use LED or Compact Fluorescent lighting throughout the building to keep it well-lit and fancy but they also help lessen energy consumption.
HVAC Energy Savings
Trying to cool an entire building during summer is hard and so is warm up an entire building during winter. This is because you have this overwhelming temperature outside that you have to fight using AC or heating system. Because of this, both of them have to work harder to get the job done; which means it uses more energy thus cost more. But installing residential window films on every window of your establishment especially on big ones helps control the temperature that penetrates into your commercial building. As a result, your HVAC unit doesn’t have to run as hard which can save repairs, decrease maintenance cost, and increase the lifespan of your system in the long run.
